The Eucalyptus oil comes from the Eucalyptus tree which has its origins in Australia but different states have a different kind of species. But all together they come from a family species called Myrtle. The tallest tree in Australia is about 330 feet. The average growth of a Eucalyptus tree can grow about 30 (smallest) to 200 (very tall) feet. Since they depend on how or where they grow they could be shrubs or trees. About 60% of their growth can be seen in 10 years. Their barks can be smooth, fibrous, hard or stringy. The leaves are usually found in warmer climatic areas. In colder climates, eucalyptus leaves can be sold by a local nursery.
